# Shopify Layout Settings

The Layout Settings page controls how filters render on Nimstrata search results and collection pages.

# Filter Display Options

# Filter Location

Choose where filters appear relative to the product grid.

Current options include:

• Left of Product Grid
• Hidden Until Toggled

# Sticky Filters

Keep filters visible while customers scroll through products.

Sticky filters are most effective when filters are positioned on the left side of the page. If your theme uses a fixed header, you can also provide a Fixed Header CSS Selector so the header does not cover the filters while scrolling.

# Filter Expansion

Control whether filter groups start opened or collapsed:

• Opened
• Closed
• Closed on mobile only

# Filter Visibility

Control whether the filter panel is immediately visible or hidden behind a toggle button:

• Show filters
• Hide filters
• Hide filters on mobile

# Filter Counts

Show or hide the count next to each filter value.

# Filter Value Order

Choose whether values are ordered:

• Alphabetically
• By filter count

# Filter Behavior Options

# Search Within Filters

Add a search field inside large filters so shoppers can quickly find a specific brand, size, or other value.

You can enable this on:

• Desktop
• Mobile
• Desktop and mobile

The Tolerance setting controls how many values must exist before the search box appears.

# Filter Limits

Limit the number of values shown at first, then reveal the rest behind View All.

This setting uses two controls:

• Filter Limit: how many values show initially
• Tolerance: extra buffer before the View All button appears

# When to Use Layout Settings

Use Layout Settings when you need to:

• Reduce visual clutter on large collections
• Improve mobile filtering behavior
• Make brand or size filters easier to use
• Match filter behavior to your theme layout

For attribute-level filter setup, see App Block Filters.
